Lucas got out of the car and saw Irene standing in the courtyard. He glanced at her.
"Mr. Lucas, I've already made dinner." Irene immediately went over to Lucas and asked, "How were classes today? We got back the
results for our mocks today. Mine aren't bad."
Lucas said, "Can you get into Turlington University?"
"It's a little risky," Irene said honestly. "I'm not a hundred percent confident. So, | plan to work for another month, and then I'll be
resigning to focus on the exams."
Irene told Lucas her plans, hoping that he would understand her decision.
"Mr. Lucas, once | resign, you can get Mrs. Flores to cook for you. She can cook well," Irene said.
Lucas entered the living room and changed his shoes.
Irene stood next to him, changing her shoes, too.
"I'll be going abroad in two weeks. I've already gotten my visa." Lucas told Irene his decision. "You can quit in two weeks and
prepare for your exam. | can get my father to pay you a full month's wages."
Irene was a little stunned. At the stime, she shook her head. "No need, Mr. Lucas. Just payaccordingly. | can find other jobs
during the summer to support myself. By then, I'll just take a student loan for my school fees."
Lucas saw how she had already planned out her life, so he said nothing.

"Mr. Lucas, you're leaving in two weeks! How sudden!" Irene felt a little stunned. "Will you be returning once a year after you go
abroad? Mr. Sam was like that."
"lI won't want to return at all." Lucas washed his hands and walked over to the dining hall.
"Okay, then! If you're abroad and you're happier there, you should just stay there." Irene placed the dishes on the dining table
before sitting next to him, watching him eat. "Mr. Lucas, I've thought about it. It's definitely better for you to stay abroad. If not, if
you're in the country, your father would force you to do things that you don't want to do. You'll only be unhappy."
Lucas looked at her. She was smiling.
From what he could remember of her, she was always either crying or smiling. It was hard to ignore her existence.

Lucas did not say anything.
Lucas said, "I'll change my sim card when I'm abroad."
Irene was stunned for a while. "Will you tellyour new number?"
"No."
Irene was speechless. The atmosphere grew suddenly awkward.
Irene felt a little sad while Lucas buried his head in his food.
"Mr. Lucas, | plan to visit Ylore during the summer break." Irene suddenly thought of something when Lucas was almost done
eating. "I can't find any information about my mother here. If | head to Ylore, perhaps | could find out more."
"You plan to go to Ylore by yourself just so you can connect to Ylore's internet?" Lucas felt that her actions were rather stupid.
"Yes! I don't think | have any relatives
in Ylore. Even If | do, | don't think
they'll want t@ speak to me. So, I'l
only go thefe'to find out sthings

When Lucas heard what she said, he placed his cutlery down and stretched his hand out to her. "Handyour phone."
Irene was stunned, but she did not ask why. She immediately took her phone out and passed it to him.
Lucas took her phone and smoothly unlocked her phone...
"Mr. Lucas, how... how do you know my password?" Irene was in a daze.
